How To Make A Strawberry And Lime Smoothie. So how are you today? Smoothies are a great way to start the day. This summery version is a complete breakfast in a glass. Not only are oats and nuts blended in the smoothie but it is topped with the delicious crunchy oats too.

Full of slow release carbohydrates and protein, this is a fantastic option when you are short of time and will help keep you feeling energised and focused through the morning.

Packed Full Of Vitamins:

Strawberries are packed with vitamin C and also rich in fibre to help balance blood sugar levels and support digestive health.

The oats and strawberries are rich in B vitamins essential for energy and supporting the body during times of stress while the milk provides plenty of protein to keep blood sugar levels stable and a feeling of fullness.

You can also use the oat topping as the basis of a crunchy muesli – simply add some dried fruit and store in an airtight container. This would also make an ideal pre and post-exercise shake too.
